⚠️ No longer actively developed

Other commitments and the fact I no longer use Pencil mean this repo is no longer being actively worked on. Pull-requests with new features/fixes are still welcome, as are new issues, but my responses might not be the speediest 🙂

Installation

• Download the latest release zip file. (Make sure you grab the twemoji-for-pencil-vx.x.x.zip file, not the source code zip).
• Install the collection in Pencil by going to Tools > Install new collection and selecting the zip.
• Enjoy!

Updating

Right-click on the collection in Pencil's sidebar and choose Uninstall this collection before repeating the installation steps.

Using

Drag-and-drop emoji from the Collections panel onto your mockups. Easy. If you want to change the default emoji size, right-click on the collection in the Collections panel, select Collection settings and enter the desired size (it's 16,16 by default).

Generating the Collection

• Clone this repo with the --recursive flag to include submodules. (or just clone it normally then git submodule init and git submodule update)
• Run the generate-xml.py script (tested with Python 3.4).

This will generate the stencil definition XML and png thumbnails and place them in the gen/ folder.

Everything inside the gen/ folder can then be zip'd and installed in Pencil.

Windows users wanting to generate the collection: see this comment.
